Ji Tianxing observed the pit for a while and guessed the situation.
This deep pit is considered the ground, and the ores and metals mined from the ground are sent here to be smelted and purified.
You can enter the underground mine through the entrances on the east and west sides.
The City Lord's Mansion has been operating here for seventy years, and has long formed a complete system of mining, refining and smelting, and its work efficiency is very high.
Moreover, after the city lord's palace was evacuated, those basic facilities were not destroyed.
In this way, the Qi family can quickly take over Xuanguang Cave.
You don't need to prepare too many things to mine ore veins quickly.
However, these are superficial things and not worthy of the city lord's government's intervention.
The real problem, and the more difficult one, should still be in the mine.
"Come on, let's go take a look in the mine."
Ji Tianxing looked at Qi Huanzhi.
Qi Huanzhi quickly led the way into the east entrance of the mine.
After entering the mine, the light becomes dim.
Two mine tunnels more than ten feet wide snake down along an empty cave.
The mine tunnel is attached to the rock wall, and every hundred steps away, there is a gemstone lamp on the rock wall.
Ji Tianxing looked at the empty cave and said, "This cave was excavated by the City Lord's Mansion over the past few decades, right?
It seems that they have mined quite a lot of sacred stones and metals over the years!"
Qi Huanzhi nodded quickly and said indignantly: "Yes! On the surface, our Qi family is the richest in Qingshan City.
But in fact, the City Lord's Mansion is the real huge wealth, and it is hidden deep inside!
If there was no Xuanguang Cave, how could they afford a private army of fifty thousand?
We also invited worshipers from the Divine Lord Realm, hundreds of elite celestial masters, and more than 30 staff..."
As they spoke, the three of them quickly descended to the bottom of the cave.
The cave of this mine is more than six thousand feet high.
At the bottom of the cave is a square with a radius of fifty miles, where a large amount of black, brown and dark gold ores are accumulated.
There are more than a dozen mine tunnels surrounding the square, extending in all directions.
Many miners wearing burlap clothes and unkempt faces are working deep in the mine tunnels.
Most people are responsible for digging ore, and a few people are responsible for transporting it to the square for accumulation.
There are also hundreds of Qijia guards wearing armor, supervising the work in various mine tunnels and patrolling back and forth.
Seeing Qi Huanzhi and Ji Tianxing, everyone bowed and saluted.
Bai Long looked at it for a few times, frowned and asked: "Mr. Qi, why do those miners still use carts to transport ore?
I think the miners are all false gods. At least they can use space rings. How convenient would that be?"
Qi Huanzhi smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Bailong, when those miners are working, they are not allowed to carry any artifacts except mining tools.
Especially the space ring cannot be worn.
Otherwise, if every miner keeps their own ores and resources, how can we manage them?"
"Uh...that's true." Bai Long was stunned and nodded.
At this time, Qi Huanzhi pointed to a tunnel in the corner of the mine and said to Ji Tianxing: "Brother Tianxing, there was an accident in mine tunnel No. 12. Let's go and have a look."
Ji Tianxing turned around and looked around and found that the mine tunnel had been blocked by a formation, and a huge boulder was blocking the entrance.
"good."
So, he walked over with Qi Huanzhi and Bai Long.
Bailong grabbed the boulder at the entrance of the cave with one hand and threw it aside.
Qi Huanzhi quickly cast a spell and released the sealing formation.
Then, the three of them entered the mine tunnel and walked toward the mine cave inside.
This mine tunnel is gourd-shaped, with a small mouth and a large inside.
The mine inside is only two thousand feet in diameter, and it was obviously only opened a few years ago.
Under normal circumstances, there would be more than three hundred miners working in this mine, digging in all directions.
But after the accident, the entrance to the mine was blocked.
There was no one inside, and it was deathly silent.
The ground was filled with gravel and the air was filled with dust.
There are many cracks and a large number of collapsed boulders on the surrounding rock walls.
It can be seen that an explosion did occur here, and it was very powerful.
"Bailong, clear away the gravel and look at the mineral veins underground."
Ji Tianxing pointed to the gravel on the ground in the middle of the mine and ordered to Bai Long.
Bailong quickly waved his palm to cast a spell, using the power of earth law to create two dark yellow whirlwinds.
"Whoosh!"
Two cyclones swept across and quickly cleared away the rubble all over the ground.
Several ravines were exposed on the ground, as well as a deep pit three feet wide.
Several mineral veins were exposed in the deep pits and ravines, and the colorful ores shone brightly.
Ji Tianxing used the secret skill of the Divine Eye and looked through the ground to observe the mineral vein.
His gaze moved slowly from south to north, and he stopped after taking ten breaths.
"They are all divine stones, gems with six or seven attributes, and four or five kinds of god-level metals.
Such a pure mineral vein, it is probably one of the best in the entire Xuanguang Cave."
Ji Tianxing withdrew his gaze and praised him sincerely.
Qi Huanzhi nodded quickly and said, "That's right! More than thirty craftsmen came to study this vein before, and they said the same thing."
Ji Tianxing added: "Moreover, this vein is very large, with a width of ten miles and a length of more than three hundred miles, extending to the bottom of the sea.
What you see in this mine is just the tip of the iceberg.”
Qi Huanzhi became more and more excited and asked in disbelief: "Really? This is really great!
Just this vein, once mined out, will be worth at least over 10 billion divine stones!"
But after getting excited, he immediately became discouraged and asked with a depressed look on his face: "But, no matter how pure or large the mineral vein is, it's useless.
Once the miners start digging, the vein will explode.
A vein that can only be looked at but not mined is useless no matter how good it is."
Ji Tianxing said nothing and stared at several ravines and deep pits for a moment.
He frowned and thought for ten breaths, then suddenly thought of something, and a light flashed in his eyes.
"Also, if I guess correctly, when you took over Xuanguang Cave, there were two formations in this mine, right?"
Qi Huanzhi nodded quickly and said excitedly: "Yes! You guessed it right, there are indeed two formations.
However, when the people from the City Lord's Mansion evacuated, they dismantled the two formations, leaving only the rudimentary formations.
My father did some research and found that they were all ordinary heaven-level divine formations with no effect, so he didn’t care about them.”
Ji Tianxing quickly shook his head and said: "Those two formations may seem simple, but they are actually very crucial.
According to my guess, one is a wind removal formation that exhausts all the air in the mine to maintain a vacuum.
The other formation should be the ice divine formation to keep the temperature low in the mine."
Qi Huanzhi frowned in confusion and asked, "What are the uses of these two formations?"
Ji Tianxing did not answer, thought for a moment, and then continued: "By the way, the City Lord's Mansion only demolished two divine formations.
But in fact, when they mine this vein, they will also use another kind of material.
Earth evil stone!
Otherwise, I will arrange those two kinds of divine formations, and you can go find the Earthly Evil Stones now, the more the better."
